The best restaurants in Bushey St James Hertsmere East of England

We came in last week, as a family of 3. We were served within 3 minutes of being sat down, and our waitress Scarlet took very good care of us, even recognising myself and my daughter from the last time we came!! She was very thorough with the specials they had on at the time, and had plenty of patience with us when deciding. Amazing atmosphere, loved to watch the teams play football while we ate our food. We even got dessert this time, the sticky toffee was absolutely delightful. Cannot recommend the Sunday roast enough!! I went for chicken last time, this time tried the beef. Did not disappoint!! We will be coming back to say the least, and excellent service as usual from Scarlet. Look forward to coming back again!

not worth the money.. I tried the veg sausages not for me.going back to the big breakfast with 2 of every thing 2 eggs 2 sausages and bacon.

We celebrated my Dad’s 90th birthday with friends and family. Nothing was too much trouble and David was so helpful. The menu had so much choice and all the food was cooked to the highest standard. If you want to make a function then Blue Check is the place to go.

Great service! Thank you so much to Mihai for be so helpful and kind!

Love this place and it never disappoints! There are now 4 Italians in Bushey and this is buy far the best!

Had Sunday lunch, very efficient service, very friendly and clean. Also very full!

This has to be one of the best places to eat in Bushey. Excellent food and service at a reasonable price. If I could give them more stars I would. The menu is varied with many delicious things to try and enjoy. They even have some delicious looking Sri Lankan dishes to have. Your taste buds will love you forever if you eat here.

Waited 2 hours just for a sandwiches. Very nice staff though who gave us some money off in compensation.

Really nice place, staff extremely friendly & good with babies big portions of food.

Went to celebrate my son's birthday. The food was very good , meats cooked well but quite expensive for what it was. Most dishes you need to order sides on top which adds up. Cocktails were inconsistent. We had 2 the same , mine had hardly any alcohol while the other was very strong. Music was very good but there was no other entertainment for a Friday night. The hostess we had was terrible , no acknowledgement, no smile etc. Also we ordered the birthday baklava . Apart from a small show of preparing it , the server didnt really interact , wish Happy birthday etc. When he had finished cutting it up , he just walked off without any acknowledgement. When i am paying £30 for a dessert , i would expect at least a smile. One of the most expensive meals we have had for 4 people and did expect much better customer service.

I loved this place, lovely atmosphere, plentiful food at good value. The staff are really friendly and attentive and it's just everything you want for a great lunch

I do not ever give reviews, however due to my experience I feel I must. The service was extremely slow. The food was not adequate for a bog standard local Indian. The samosas I ordered were frozen inside.. very demoralising indeed. Neither the flavouring or the food was acceptable. The ambience was appalling and so was tummy afterwards. To summarise simply don't go.. unless you wish to be acquainted with your bathroom for multiple unscheduled stops. Lastly the LAMB outrageous!!

Booked a table for 6 people on the phone for dinner. When we arrived I was pleased to see a board with my name on it on the table. We tried to order the food online via a QR-Code on the menu. The order was rejected by the system, so we did it all over again, only to be rejected again. We then tried to order at the bar, but were told (rather unapologetically) that no food would be served at the location because they had been overwhelmed by people who watched the 6-Nations Rugby earlier that day. So we left with empty stomachs and of course could not find a restaurant that had a table for 6 at short notice on a busy Saturday evening. We ended up walking home and get something delivered (2 hrs later).

After being our go-to restaurant for family get-togethers for about 25 yrs, we are sorry that Alphonso is retiring and moving back to Puglia. We will miss you. On Sunday lunchtime the restaurant was packed with friends and family to say goodbye to a well-loved institution. We hope that the new owners will continue your tradition for high quality and good value when they open in November.
